the best monster/mech mash up there is

Rating: 9/10 (12 May 2014)

Now this film will not be for everybody those who are looking for an Oscar film don't bother but those who are looking for an exciting action packed deep film watch pacific rim. The film starts with earth being destroyed by monsters from a rift in the ocean so to combat the earth created mechs to stand up. The acting is solid throughout with the pairing in the Jaeger (mech) both delivering good performances but in acting idriss Elba once again stole the show, there is a speech he delivers in this film and oh my goodness it felt like I would happily fight for him. This is emphatic with the point that this is different to a film like transformers where the human parts of the film are boring whereas in pacific rim the human parts are fantastic. But pacific rim's biggest strength by far is the action between monster and mech this may be the greatest action on a large scale ever with all the action feeling heavy and realistic for what a situation would really be like. There's a couple of scientist characters that I didn't really like in this film and also you could argue they could have split the action and talking up a little more but these are my only minor gripes as I absolutely love this film and it is now the standard bearer for these types of films.
